(It’s also extremely frustrating.) But when Bette and Tina (Laurel Holloman) fight, get back together, have a baby, and raise a baby, it’s not something you can ignore.

Showtime Bette and Tina’s entire relationship, seasons 1-6 There are spoilers ahead, but that's the price of speeding through a show. Skipping storylines doesn’t necessarily mean skipping entire episodes think of them as subpar B plots you can skim over or put on mute while you online shop for Subarus. How to watch: Very few TV shows need 100 percent of your attention. Here’s a guide to watching the original “women who long, love, lust,” and the world they created long before Generation Q was a gay twinkle in Showtime’s enterprising eye. Bingeing the original L Word doesn’t necessarily mean you need to scrutinize every single scene and plot point if you’re trying to get through the whole series in a short period of time (or at least by the second or third episode of Generation Q), you’ll need to speed things up.
